Friday Favorites

Happy Friday! When I opened the tab to write this post, I had to think really hard if Valentine’s fell this week. It did. It has been a doozy folks. Work has been crazy, as per usual. Yesterday we got the message that Zoe’s school was shutting down early and dance was cancelled because of the severe storms that were rolling in. Our weather alarm went off twice, luckily the first time it was a little ways north of us and south the second time. It was 72 when I went to go get Zoe yesterday and it is 36 right now. Talk about a drop, right?

Valentine’s Day falling on a Monday kind of stinks. We took Zoe to get heart donuts on Saturday morning and I made heart shaped cinnamon rolls Sunday. Chris ordered us a cookie cake, does he know the way to our heart or what?? And we had filets for dinner Sunday night. We got Zoe a few presents to open on Valentine’s Day, and of course she had a class party that day as well. All the kids looked so cute in their pink and red outfits.

Favorite Purchases: I grabbed this cookbook and am really enjoying it. There are so many delicious looking, healthy recipes in here that I cannot wait to try!

I have started Easter shopping. I don’t really like to give a basket full of candy. We usually have an egg hunt with Zoe and do a little candy, but mostly little trinkets, coins, etc. In her basket I usually grab a fun snack of some kind, maybe a Kinder egg or two…and then she usually gets a few toys and some spring/summer clothes, swimsuits, etc. Disney Store has 30% off today! I grabbed this cute Aurora Ballerina doll to put in her basket.

At Target yesterday, I grabbed the Annie’s Neapolitan graham cookies for her basket, and some fun marshmallow scented peep playdough, bunny shaped slime toys and how cute is that little furry bunny from the dollar section??? You can wind it up and it hops! I am tempted to grab two more so that we can all have one and maybe have a race with them. That sweet little old fashioned bunny was only $5 and I can’t wait to display it along with the rest of our Easter decor. It is my second favorite holiday to decorate for.

Favorite Recipe: I have made this Low Carb Cheesesteak Skillet several times and plan on making it tonight for dinner. We leave out the mushrooms because eww.

Favorite Listen: I really enjoyed listening to the Keep It Simple & Let’s Go Back To Basics episode of this podcast this week. They really hit it on the head that we ingest too much fear mongering every day, and gave great tips on how to make easy healthy steps in your daily life.
